post-rock

[x togepi x]

anyone else like post rock? (stuff like explosions in the sky, mogwai, godspeed! you black emperor).

I wasn't sure where to make a thread about it since it doesn't really fit in any of the forums (maybe alternative), but more people need to listen to it.

[xglassjawx]

Absolutely love it. Check out 65 Days Of Static, Yndi Halda, Mono and From Monument To Masses. And Alternative will be a good place to put a thread like that, it would get more replies.

[dangets]

i love mogwai. the post-rock channel on last.fm radio is really good

[x togepi x]

65daysofstatic and from monuments to masses own.

not sure where I stand on mono

and when I made this thread, i was also watching some cartoon about mr. t. so I have no idea what i was thinking putting it in here.

[phoenixinflames]

i like those bands...but i laugh at the genre name that is..."post-rock"

[xglassjawx]

Haha, although I and everyone else uses it, Post-Rock is apretty loose term, I mean 65 Days Of Static and Mono both get called Post Rock but to be honest, they couldn't sound anymore different.

Maybe She Will are really good as well, a lot like 65 Days Of Static, if you like the sample-y electronica with occasional heavy guitars, you'll like them.

[UndertheTELE]

Everyone check out Do Make Say Think (if you haven't already) and then check out Apse. Apse is fantastic.

[xglassjawx]

Will do in time.

[UndertheTELE]

There was a Do Make Say Think song in Syriana

[nickstetina]

GY!BE is one of my faves in this category (emusic has some of their cd's for those who dont want to spend $15 and up to find these cds) but all there stuff is the best. the climatic epic sound is awesome. it gets pretty errie too, turn it on before you go to bed and fall asleep to it, it'll be the soundtrack to your nightmares, haha

[PaulG]

Post rock is something thats fairly new to me honestly, I mean I've been listening to Explosions, Mogwai, etc. for a while but never knew the term for the genre. Until I hired someone to write a blog for my network, and he told me about the genre.

[TheDeekay]

I don't know if anyone listens to Mouth Of The Architect, but I really dig them. I still haven't got around to listening to the new Mogwai yet.

[Zeran]

do make say think, a silver mt. zion, the books, 65 days of static, explosions in the sky (favorite), godspeed you black emperor, set fire to flames, mogwai, the arcade fire, the album leaf, octopus project, molasses, hrsta, sigur ros, landing, why?, okkervil river, the list goes on and on and on. i love all of it. i'm not sure all of those would be considered post-rock, as i actually don't believe in the genre called post-rock. but i really love bands like the ones i listed and i have tons more if anyone wants some or has suggestions for other good ones.

Yndi Halda is so fucking tight. If you like catchy stuff, check out Caspian.

I'm listening to dash and blast right now. my friend made me get some ydni halda.

it's such a perfect way to end the night.

[xglassjawx]

Yeah, such a great band. They're re-releasing the EP on a bigger label in November. I think they were unsigned when they first released it. Speaking of Post-Rock, I'm listening to "Unreleased/Unreleasable Volume 2" by 65 Days Of Static, and it's just a load of mash-ups of Chart songs haha.

[x togepi x]

that cd really screwed with me at first when i heard "30 seconds of heaven"

never heard them, i'll check them out.

there's this band called the autumn project from iowa or nebraska that plays post-rock, but they only have 3 members so it's really strange when you see them live. they're pretty good. at least, they were live. I haven't listened tot he albums since that night though.

[xglassjawx]

Autumn Project, I'll check them out soon.

It's by Sparrows Swarm and Sing. If anyone would upload that to megaupload or something I would be much obliged. I'd upload anything in return.

i disagree.

enjoy eternal bliss is close, and if it was more than three tracks it might actually win out....

I personally think EEB slays Takk. But that's just me.

they're both amazing. that sounds fair to me.

My Maybeshewill review if anybody is interested. Good post rock with electronica elements. Feedback positive or negative is welcome, as long as it's constructive.

Takk is growing on me. I really like the addition of horns.

[Zeran]

has anyone seen the music video they did for one of the songs? i can't remember which but it had the group of children running around and then they jumped off a cliff and started flying. really cool.

Neil on Impression - The Perfect Tango
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=75MXUAFH

[x togepi x]

what's it sound like?

[xglassjawx]

Neil On Impression is pretty accesable post rock with pianos and violins, the pianos and violins make it sound a bit more distinctive and help it move away from the typical post rock sound. They're OK, nothing amazing or memorable though.

[BreakerBreaker]

They are great. Listen to them.

[IAmNietzche]

The Perfect Tango is great. The rest of their shit is weak. I just expected more with members of Raein.

For New Grammar of Feelings came out in 2003, so you can say they've made major progress.

[x togepi x]

neil on impression couldn't keep my interest, but I wasn't in the mood for post rock so it might just be that.

Haha it annoys me as there's some shitty indie band with basically the exact same name so i always get them confused. Plus I always forget the name anyway, I just call them UpCDownC for simplicity.

Anuad I'm listening to Irepress as I type. They're pretty good, I don't exactly love them, but the instrumentals are impressive.

i'm listening to sparrows, swarm and sing right now. they're so good.

[xglassjawx]

I've heard good things about them. I saw a review of the album in a music magazine I bought today, it only got 6/10 though.

[Zeran]

that review is shit. what magazine was it? they're definitely a lot better than a 6/10

[xglassjawx]

Rock Sound. It's the best music magazine over here imo. Whilst all the others care abot nothing but attracting 13 year old fangirls, Rock Sound features tons of stuff. Even though they feature Lostprophets, Aiden etc, they mention Yndi Halda a lot, and a lot of smaller UK metal bands ie Symmetry, Exit Ten, Architects etc.

[Zeran]

ehh it sounds kinda sketchy...better just listen to the band and rate them for yourself

[BreakerBreaker]

Sparrows Swarm and Sing are almost a direct ripoff of Godspeed. Still, you can't go wrong ripping off Godspeed.

So...I'm trying to start a post-rock band. Does anyone know any theory that's incorporated with the genre?

I'm kind of new to playing guitar (in every other band i've been the singer or played keys), so while I can play stuff, I'm not too up on theory. I am in the middle of music theory classes, so there's a good chance I'll figure it out on my own.

Try looking up "Post-Rock" or "Experimental" on wikipedia and see what they have.

[x togepi x]

I was trying to get some people to listen to the ascent of everest a couple pages back I believe. I think i'll try wiki, but I'm not sure how deep into theory they go, but maybe there's something on the page that will lead me somewhere else.

Btw, You Are There is stunning, may just creep into my #1 of 2006 spot. I can't wait for the new vinyl. I don't actually have a record player, but I'm sure I'll be able to find mp3s. I think it's out in November, it's only two tracks but knowing Mono it'll be pretty long anyway.

EDIT: Just downloaded a sample of it, it doesn't sound quite as neo-classical, and the guitars are a bit different but they still sound pretty much the same, this is still pretty stunning though.

Btw, You Are There is stunning, may just creep into my #1 of 2006 spot. I can't wait for the new vinyl. I don't actually have a record player, but I'm sure I'll be able to find mp3s. I think it's out in November, it's only two tracks but knowing Mono it'll be pretty long anyway.

yeah i really like mono, i hope that the new stuff is still amazing. looks like that's going to be the case too.

[xglassjawx]

Yeah. Supposedly they're doing a Travels In Constanants EP soon as well. This band is such a release whore. Fine by me though! :D

Godspeed You Black Emperor!

There is no band better than GYBE so that should answer your question. Though, SFTF comes closer than most.

personally i think they're about even, or about as even as a band can get to godspeed.

My 65 Days Of Static album just came through the post woth my Glassjaw single! Mmmmn. Mono and The Burning Paris should hopefully be here tommorow.

[xglassjawx]

Bryan! I thought I'd swallow my pride and see what the fuck is so incredible about GYBE, so I downloaded Tiny Silver Hammers. It's actually pretty good. Bear in mind that when I first heard them I wasn't really into such full on post rock, only stuff like 65 Days Of Static and that.

Haha. You like Electronic Post-Rock which is cool. My favorite song by GYBE is still the first song off of Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antenna's To Heaven. For some reason I'm sure the way the song titles are labled on my pc are wrong.

[xglassjawx]

Haha. I may buy an album of theirs cheap off of Amazon.

[IAmNietzche]

GYBE! are the most talented band to ever try their hand at making music.

[xglassjawx]

I still prefer other post rock ie Mono, Yndi Halda etc.

EDIT: BTW, the Mono/WEG collab is epic. The violins are immense, I can't believe it was all self-produced. I swear everything Mono touch turns to gold.

No problem. Just as long as you recognize...

(too bad we don't have a black chick smiley)

[xglassjawx]

Haha, ZOMG D-LO BROWN!11 I was expecting a boring, predictable reply from Dan ie "Yeah, all the post rock you listen to wouldn't exist without GYBE."

[Zeran]

godspeed you black emperor >>>>>> everything

[BreakerBreaker]

Seriously. I can't think of a better band...in any genre.

[brutusUbastard]

I'm really enjoying the American Dollar right now

i need to find their album.

[brutusUbastard]

my fileshare is always open

[xglassjawx]

This Burning Paris album isn't as good as I thought it would be. :( There's still a few pretty stunning songs on it though ie Winter Street In Winter *drools* and (Hemlock) I may still check some of their other stuff out though.

[IAmNietzche]

The new Cats and Cats and Cats album Sweet Drunk Everyone is fucking stellar.

[xglassjawx]

I think I heard about them as they play with Maybeshewill and Fight Fire With Water a lot, I've been meaning to check them out a lot. They're British aren't they?

Same, what is actually on it?

Never heard.

[Zeran]

Same, what is actually on it? it's just a fan site with interviews, photos, live songs, etc.



Never heard.
they used to be on instrumetal.com but i guess that site isn't around anymore. basically it was post-rock with a metal twist, but in a really cool way.

[xglassjawx]

Nice. :)

Haha Capulet was the only one I didn't really like. I love Skoud though. That stuff is tight. I downloaded the album after.

[x togepi x]

so....having someone who's sole purpose is to beat on trash cans is a good idea for a new member for my post-rock band....right?

[xglassjawx]

Yeah man! It'll give the drums a nice raw feel. ;)

[x togepi x]

i'm excited about it. first practice is next weekend.

I've heard about them before, but never checked them out.

PS Grace (wyverna) just sent me some ASMZ. They're pretty good, I'd never got round to checking them out before.

[Zeran]

i've got some stuff by laura and i like it. very good.

[Zeran]

PS Grace (wyverna) just sent me some ASMZ. They're pretty good, I'd never got round to checking them out before.

how could you not have checked them out before now? i love them, they're one of the most popular bands of their genre out there. plus they made fun of geoff from thursday, which i approve of.
